How McGarigle Escaped from Chicago.

Captain Irwin of the schooner Blake, on
which McGarigle was carried to Canada, tells
how the arrangement for McGarigle' escape
was made:
When got to Chicago friend of mine
came to me and asked me if l would take
q passenger to Canada, landing hi at the
first convenient point. | consented, pro-
viding that he would not tell me any thing
about the party. | suspected from the
way he talked that his friend was in troub
le, and / did not want to know anything
that might get me into scrape. L was to
let him know when l would be ready to sail,
and on Saturday afternoon OF the 3Oth.,
l met him in q buggy on Fifth avenue.
We drove around and l arranged
with him to have his friend meet me that
night at the cigar store at Rush and Michi.
gan streets | also told him when the ves-
sci would be ready and said | would drop
down the river and lie at the north pier
until the party who was to be known as
Williams showed up at the appointe place.
l cleared at the barge office at 8 clock
and then went over to the cigar store. A
little after 10 o'clock a man whom recoy-
nized by the description given me. came in.
I asked him ii his name was Williams. He
nodded his head, and we went down to
the vessel together. Then We towed out.
The captain spoke guardedly, but let out
enough to strengthen the suspicion that
DR.. St. John and Janitor Dell knew more
about the escape OF McGarigle than any
one else in Chicago.
Port Huron (Mich.) dispatch states,
in connection with McGarigle's landing in
Canada, that when the tug Orient ap-
preached the schooner Blake, which was
last in the tow of four vessels, the schooner
Marsh, next ahead dropped the tow line
and the Blake dropped rapidly astern.
M1Ga oil ho hnd hnQn frn
ferred to the Marsh in the straits,
was bundeled into yawl and
being sculled ashore. When the officers
on the tug discovered the ruse every effort
was made to catch the yawl, but it got in
to shoal water safely before they could
reach 1t. McGarigle jumped ashore and
ran rapidly up the street. Capt. Freer, OF
the Marsh, explains that McGarigle plead
ed SO pathetically to be taken on board
that he could not refuse him.
Three young nihilists murdered Gen. Ne
vestroff's widow at Vladikavas and stole
100000 roubles. They were arrested
while trying to escape to Turkey.
A despatch from st. Paul de Loanda,
dated July 81, says: "Jansse. governor of
Congo Free State, writes from Bombay
that since receiving news OF the arrival OF
Stanley at camp on the Arnmihimi river
no messenger has arrived from the upper
Congo, and the first news OF any accident
that might happen to Stanley must be
brought by Congo State messenger, ex-
pected at Bama in a few days"
Again does the president make it known
that he bankers not for visiting delega-
tions. 1t is probable that he will leave
Washington the last days OF September
and go directly to St. Louis, and from
there to Kansas City, st. Paul. Minneapo-
lis Milwaukee, Chicago, Nashville and At
lanta. The st. Louis and Atlanta dates
being fixed, it will not be practicable to
deviate much from this programme.

county auditor, secretary of the board OF

Democratic county executive committee
and son of ex-Grcuit Judge Forward, has
been suspended by the governor on charges
OF maifeasance, embezzlement multilation
OF records and various private disreputa-
BILE transactions, involving $25, 900.
At Jersey City, Mrs. Lille Schlimme +
sixteen year old wife, was murdered by
her youthful husband Joseph. The couple
were married with the consent OF the girls
parents but on account OF her age it was
agreed that they should not live together
for two years. It is said that young
Schlimmer was endeavoring to persuade
the girl to leave the parental roof. But
she refused.
